For over a century, the Order of the Arrow has created transformative experiences for Scouts across the nation. As we continue our mission to be why Scouts want to stay in Scouting, we're evolving our induction experience to ensure today's young people forge real connections, discover what Brotherhood, Cheerfulness, and Service mean in their lives, and begin journeys they'll carry forward for years.

Existing Arrowmen will have the opportunity to build shared understanding by going through the new induction before lodges offer it to new members. All members who staff or organize a new induction, referred to as an induction team, must first complete it in full as candidates. This "teach through experience" approach ensures that every lodge leader understands the new induction firsthand.

Event Registration

Registration will close on September 25th. No late registrations will be accepted. 

What To Expect

Each participant of the Section Induction Experience will be participating in the new induction model as if they are a candidate going through the induction themselves. Participants will sleep out at night, participate in service projects throughout camp, and experience the ceremonies firsthand. More details, such as a schedule for the weekend and what to pack, will be shared closer to the event.
